You may need to go to a nursing or patient care list of CDSSs on the Internet to find a CDSS for your project. If you use a CDSS that you have little familiarity or experience with, you should investigate the answers to the components of this preliminary draft.
Problem Description:
State the problem the computerized CDSS is being considered for or currently used to solve in the healthcare setting of your choice.
CDSS Functional Components and Structures:
This section should include the vendor name and link to the vendor’s website as well as the systems architecture / configuration and how it works.
Organization Utilization of CDSS
Healthcare Setting:
Identify the healthcare setting in which the CDSS is being used and list potential areas for expansion (type of setting, population served, size of the organization).
Remove all identifiers prior to submitting.
Organizational Stakeholders:
State the organizational stakeholders who will purchase, influence, or champion the products implementation and ongoing support.
For this preliminary draft, you will be writing this summary as an information technology consultant for a healthcare organization. The organization wants to learn more about a computerized CDSS for purchase. The CDSS you select for this project may be one you are familiar with and have used, or one from a vendor site that provides advanced nursing practice decision support in a healthcare managerial, administrative, research, or clinical area.
